I have forced myself to finish this game so I can properly warn everybody.

The graphics and music are good, and the gameplay itself it´s kind of fun but a little bit too repetitive, full of minigames that are hit or miss. But every good thing this game does it´s ruined by the plot and the writing.

It´s overly convoluted and doesn´t understand the appeal of the OG game. If you didn´t like the whispers before get ready for something 1000 times worse. They ruin some of the most iconic moments in gaming history.

The writing is even worse than in part one, everyone reverted to being oversimplified versions of themselves. Childish, overacted, and annoying, they are no longer the characters we used to love, especially Sephiroth. He is basically Ansen, appears out of nowhere says something cryptic, and leaves. The character is completely ruined.

Stay away from this game if you have any respect or love for the OG and good storytelling in general.

People weren't kidding when they said it was hard, made it through on Ultra Violence only after 200 deaths but that's because I'm too stubborn on not changing the difficulty. I think it's a personal reminder I should try playing more for fun and not to kill myself over a challenge, as it only soured my experience with Doom Eternal.

I did enjoy all the new environments, they continue to go all out on the detail of these levels.

The only real bug I met was I couldn't get to the final secret encounter. That was frustrating after completing all the others and reading I would have to replay the entire level again just to get it to trigger. No thanks.
